Every night, in your lonely tower

Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love

We don't deserve love

Keep both eyes on the road tonight

'Cause I'm driving home to you
E
Terrible song on the radio

Been hiding my scars in broad daylight bars

Behind laugh tracks on TV

If you can't see the forest for the trees
F
Just burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me
[Chorus]
C
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower

Looking down at all the wreckage

And you say, maybe we don't deserve love
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower

Looking down at all the wreckage

When we met you'd never expect this

Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love

We don't deserve

We don't deserve love
G
(We don't deserve love)
/// Note: (We don't deserve love) and "Mary, roll away the stone" are
overlapping on the track, so you need to do to the transition from
"We don't deserve love" directly into the outro. ///
[Outro]
G C
Mary, roll away the stone
The men that you love
Always leave you alone
G
Well go on Mary
Am
Roll away the stone
G
The men you love always leave you alone
C
You hear your mother screaming
You hear your daddy shouting
G
You try to figure it out
Am
You never figured it out
Your mother's screaming
F C
That you don't deserve love
If you don't deserve love
And if I don't deserve love
G
Could we deserve?
Am
Come down off your cross
And tell me!
G
It's always the Christ-types
C
Mary, roll away the stone
G
The one that you love
Am
Always gonna leave you alone
G
Particularly the Christ-types
C
Mary, roll away the stone
G
The one you love
Am
Always leave you alone
G
It's always the Christ-types
C
You're waiting on
End on C
